Dulquer Salmaan
On Friday, actor and producer Dulquer Salmaan, has taken the legal route to get back his seized luxury vehicles. The Malayalam film superstar has approached the Kerala High Court seeking the release of his vehicles seized by the Customs Department during `Operation Numkhoor`, early this week. In his petition, the actor challenged the legality of the seizure and demanded that the vehicle be returned at the earliest.
According to the petition, Customs authorities had taken into custody one among four vehicles owned by Salmaan, two Land Rovers and two Nissan models. He argued that he had already produced all the necessary records to prove his ownership, including payment receipts, and therefore, there was no justification for the continued detention of the vehicle. Salmaan emphasised that he had purchased the cars by paying cash in accordance with the law of the land, and all supporting documents were available for verification.
